Chapter 1475 Cocoa
Is it that you can't remember, or that you don't want to say?
Multi-sided Mobile was somewhat suspicious, but it couldn't force Bossco to talk more, after all, Bossco was the ace!
The next day.
The sun is shining brightly.
The scorching heat enveloped Huangtie Town once again, and the air itself appeared distorted and wavy.
"It's so hot!"
"Tsk-tsk~"
Kashiwagi and Mawile squinted at the floor-to-ceiling window, while behind them, Blissey and other Pokémon were cleaning up the trash to avoid alerting Ruka when she returned.
The two newly arrived Dragapults couldn't stand the excessively dry and scorching environment and returned to their Poké Balls early. These two have been fighting over Dragapult lately, simply because the Dragapult species allows multiple Pokémon to share a single Poké Ball.
Interestingly, Dorombalto can bring two Dorombesia, but Dorombic cannot.
This led to the two of them fighting each other and causing a lot of trouble as they vied for the right to share a Poké Ball with Dragapult.
In the end, no one won.
Kashiwagi understood the principle that it is not scarcity but inequality that is a problem, so he directly separated the three dragons completely.
—There is no such conflict between Doronbalo and Doron's sister; these two dragons, who are quite different in size, have recently fallen in love.
It seems like it won't be long before Kashiwagi sees a Pokémon egg.
What should we say today?
The trainer uses multiple phones to inquire about their next plans.
Kashiwagi said, "Of course we'll continue our investigation into the River Association, this time as a special investigator."
Disney has given him the corresponding power and status; wouldn't it be a waste not to make good use of it?
In the blink of an eye, he arrived at the town hall again.
The main reason for seeking out the town mayor this time was to requisition his entourage. Going to the river alone would be too troublesome, and he would also have to prove his origins.
Kashiwagi had no intention of playing dumb to deceive others; his style was to simply lead his men and overwhelm them.
The mayor did not give a direct answer, saying, "I don't know Mr. Aoki's purpose in investigating the River Association..."
"Review of profitable projects".
Kashiwagi replied without batting an eye, "The River Society mainly operates casinos, right? I don't need to elaborate on the profit margins in that area."
All organizations in Huangtie Town, regardless of size, had to make offerings, just like the small and medium-sized shops in the streets had to make offerings to various organizations. As for the ordinary people who worked for these organizations, that goes without saying.
Upon hearing this, the town mayor gave him a deep look and said, "Good!"
The man took office alone and even drew manpower from his own area, a strange practice that left the town mayor somewhat puzzled.
As long as they don't cause me trouble, it's fine.
The town hall has a dedicated armed squad, each member being one of the best trainers in the Orei region, though they have not mastered the power of Dark Pokémon.
Having learned from the lessons of the previous two times, the third-generation Shadow Team is determined not to allow dark Pokémon to leave the country.
To prevent the recurrence of unplanned entities like Leo and the Dragon Man.
Kashiwagi knew that there must be the mayor's informants among this group, but it didn't matter; he didn't need these people to take action.
"Let's go."
A large group of people marched towards the river confluence.
Given Kashiwagi's blatant actions, the River Association naturally received inside information as well.
The River Association chairman was completely baffled as to why he had been targeted. He hurriedly ordered his men to cover up the loopholes in the accounts. They must have been holding back on the tributes. Who would willingly hand over all the money they had "worked so hard" to earn?
What they don't understand is, why should they be approached first when everyone else is doing it?
Other organizations in Huangtie Town also received the news, and everyone was on edge.
Kashiwagi was naturally unaware of the commotion his arrival had caused, and even if he did, he didn't really care.
He went straight to the River Club's headquarters, led a large group of people inside, and immediately demanded to see the River Club casino's revenue ledger.
But there's no doubt that the River Association president, who was in charge of receiving him, was not being honest.
The first ledger they brought up was fake.
Do you think I'm easy to fool?
Bai Mu didn't even show Duobian's phone. He knew the nature of the hooligans in Huangtie Town well and believed they would behave themselves. He preferred to believe that his past life was Qin Shi Huang.
The River Association president chuckled awkwardly, "I don't know what you're talking about..."
Bang!
A loud bang.
Originating from the close contact between the River Association president's face and the chopping board, the thick wood instantly cracked under the immense force, along with the president's forehead.
Blood slowly oozed out, and the River Gang leader let out an unconscious groan.
The River Gang's underlings didn't even have time to react. By the time they instinctively tried to attack Kashiwagi, Xiong's apprentice was already faster.
"Gum!"
It blends perfectly into Kashiwagi's family atmosphere, and even when it comes to attacking people, it doesn't know what mercy is, beating up the River Clan thugs and Pokémon that are flying all over the place.
The group of followers fell silent, none of them expecting that Bai Mu would actually make a move so suddenly and so ruthlessly!
The unrest inside attracted attention from the outside.
When the other members of the River Gang entered, they saw the miserable state of their leader and his companions, and for a moment they didn't know whether to fight or give up.
At this point, the highest-ranking official of the River Association stepped forward.
"grown ups……"
“I need your actual ledgers and casino staff entry and exit records, the more detailed the better. Remember your positions; you only manage two streets, not the entire city of Orei.”
Kashiwagi gave him an indifferent look, and the top official immediately knelt on the ground in fright and replied, "I understand!"
He turned to leave, but the faint voice came again.
"Take your boss away."
"Yes."
The top official sent someone to take away their chairman, leaving only Kashiwagi and the others in the Kanto-style reception room.
A moment later, the actual ledger and other records were handed to him.
Kashiwagi handed the phone directly to the multi-faceted phone, "mainly to check the income and expenditure of outsiders and Pokémon mortgages."
"Leave it to me."
The multi-faceted mobile phone changes shape to scan the ledger.
His entourage was unaware of his communication with the multi-faceted cell phone; they only knew that a strange machine was flipping through ledgers and entering their contents.
The mayor's informant immediately relayed the information back.
"Machine? What machine?"
He became alert.
The River Association isn't the only one manipulating the books; the Pokémon Auction House owner does the same.
The informant said he didn't know anything about it and had never seen it.
the other side.
As expected, the multi-faceted mobile phone successfully located the corresponding target.
"A Cocoa Dora has indeed been added to the account."
Where is its trainer?
"They must have been forced into mining? Records from that period only show activity among the underground miners."
miner?
Weren't they rescued?
Kashiwagi suspected that he had been deceived by Sojiro, or that Kawakawa had just made up an excuse to deceive Sojiro.
But why does the content mention the town mayor's channels?
He subconsciously thought of himself.
Not likely.
If we understand that in the Pokémon anime world, people from the future changed the past, then the future will inevitably change as well.
unless……
It is something that is inevitable.
Kashiwa put down the ledger and sent someone to call back the River Association's cadres.
Unexpectedly, the person who entered was the president of the River Association. His head was wrapped in gauze, and his face was full of ingratiating smiles, as if he did not care at all about Kashiwagi's attack on him.
"Take me to the site to check the accounts."
Kashiwagi knew that the other party resented him, but he didn't care at all, as long as his goal was achieved.
The group traveled to various casinos controlled by the River Society.
During this process, information about Cocodor's former trainer gradually became clear—
A Hoenn, born in Rustboro City, he was an adult but was lured to work in Orei, and then tricked into a casino, where he eventually lost both his Pokémon and himself.
Did Huangtie Town used to abduct people?
"Of course there are, otherwise how could Longhe have fallen to such a state? It's just that their numbers are relatively small. At least I haven't heard of them much in the Quicksand Team."
Kashiwa shook his head. After the liberation of Orei, the rescue organization did find some outsiders in the underground mine, but the number was very small, and they were all sent home.
Essentially, whenever the rescue organization discovers that outsiders are trapped here, they will try every means to secretly send them out.
Kashiwagi had neither a bad impression of this unlucky guy nor a good impression of him, and wouldn't mind sending him away.
"I want this person."
He spoke very frankly to the president of the River Association.
The River Association president had no idea who this unlucky guy had lost everything. After calling in the casino manager for a thorough investigation, he learned that the guy had lost so much that he had been sold by the River Association to another organization that mainly dealt in mining, where he was forced to pay off his debts by mining.
Sounds a bit like the second installment of Gambling Apocalypse?
"Hehehe... You know this person?"
The River Association president asked ingratiatingly, "If it's someone you know, we'll definitely forgive all their gambling debts!"
"What are you thinking? He's from out of town. Do you know what the higher-ups are up to lately?"
Bai Mu glanced at him and gave a perfect reason, "If this person's family finds out he went missing in Huangtie Town, and people from outside send in to investigate secretly, causing the alliance's application to fail, hehehehe..."
He sneered, and with just a few words, he made the other person sweat profusely.
Regardless of the size of the organization, anyone who could become the head of an organization in Huangtie Town was undoubtedly one of the more outstanding members of that cesspool.
The chairman of the River Association naturally understood the implication in Kashiwagi's words.
He immediately rebuked his subordinates, saying, "Quickly bring over everything related to him and his family! Now!"
The subordinate went there trembling with fear.
Unfortunately, the efficiency was really low.
While checking the accounts, Bai Mu waited, and it wasn't until the afternoon that he saw the unlucky guy.
The other person wore tattered glasses, a white shirt, and dress pants, and looked refined, but was unusually thin.
The River Association clearly cleaned him up; how could someone who came out of the mine be so clean?
The bespectacled man looked timidly at Kashiwagi, clearly having suffered considerable torment, and was nothing like a person from the mainstream area.
"I'll send someone to put you on a ship that leaves Oure later. Remember this lesson, because no one will be able to save you in the future."
Kashiwagi didn't say much to him, only telling him to take care of himself.
The bespectacled man felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He never expected that after falling into hell, he would have the chance to return to the human world. He knelt down excitedly, tears streaming down his face.
"Thank you... thank you..."
"..."
Kashiwagi didn't bother to respond.
But after the bespectacled man received his personal items, he suddenly spoke up: "One is missing."
"One is missing? What's missing?"
Cypress frowned.
The bespectacled man said fearfully, "One Pokémon is missing."
He brought two Pokémon to Orei: one was a Beedrill that had grown up with him since he was a cub, and the other was a wild Kokoro that he had caught before leaving because he heard that the area around Pyrite Town was mainly engaged in mining.
Although he didn't have any emotional attachment to this Pokémon, he still mustered up the courage to explain when he saw that one of the Pokémon was missing.
Kashiwagi looked at the River Association president, who was sweating profusely and scolded his subordinates, "What's wrong with you all! You didn't even notice we're missing a Pokémon!"
The subordinate lowered his head and said tremblingly, "That...that Pokémon was resold."
A rotten organization is naturally corrupt from top to bottom. After the bespectacled man's Cocodora was pawned, the member who received it secretly resold it to a Pokémon hunter.
What? There's a record of it in the ledger?
He doesn't care!
Even if they find out, so what? I'm just a worthless life anyway.
The River Association president was speechless. Noticing the sinister gaze from Kashiwagi, he could only kneel down again and say, forcing himself to speak, "I...I will definitely investigate to the end! Please give me time!"
"You'd better give me a satisfactory result."
Kashiwagi never expected the trip to be so complicated.
As expected of Huangtie Town, which is known for its chaos, it's no wonder that all sorts of bizarre things happen here.
Since he couldn't see Cocodora right away, he decided to personally escort the bespectacled man onto the bus leaving Huangtie Town, just in case he encountered anything else along the way.
In the bustling train station.
Kashiwa remained silent.
He once lingered here, looking for an opportunity to leave, but was forced to give up because the chances were too slim.
Unexpectedly, in the future, he would personally send someone away, accomplishing what he had once dreamed of.
"By sending him up there, haven't you completed the time loop?"
The phone number was used to inquire.
Kashiwagi said, "Maybe, who knows?"
Does the Pokémon world have a time loop? Perhaps Celebi can provide the answer.
It once sent Professor Oak to the future, where he met Ash and drew a simple sketch of the two of them. Later, as Professor Oak grew into a professor, it allowed the fledgling Ash to meet Pikachu.
Is this a kind of reincarnation?
Kashiwagi shook his head and led the others out of the station, waiting for news from the River Association chairman.
at the same time.
Members of the rescue organization located throughout Ironwood informed Denise of Kashiwagi's actions.
"You haven't mistaken me for someone else."
Albert said softly as he made him tea.
Dennis said, "More than that, I'm curious about how he seems to know the rules of Irontown very well, and his style of doing things is also very similar."
“Perhaps this is Mr. Longhe’s style?” Albert said softly. “Mr. Longhe also integrated into Huangtie Town quite easily back then.”
Disney remarked, "Yes."
He turned to look out the window, where the city hall, both sacred and filthy, stood.
Appointing Kashiwagi as a special investigator was a test by Dennis for Erkin, as he wanted to know how much free time his "father" still had to observe the situation around him.
The answer is obvious.
Irwin didn't care at all.
Driven by greed, he was only thinking about forming an alliance in Orei to reap even greater profits, completely ignoring the situation below.
Even though he sent a complete stranger as a special investigator, the man didn't come to him to confirm anything.
Hehe, that gives us a lot more room to maneuver.
Denis believed that the time was ripe to take action.
